“ADP: Private sector job growth slowed in March”

“The pace of hiring by private employers slowed last month. Only 158,000 jobs were added, according to a report issued Wednesday by payroll-processing firm ADP.”
“”This missed the consensus forecast from Briefing.com of 197,000 jobs, and was a sharp drop from February’s job growth, which was revised upwards to 237,000 jobs added.”

“The job market continues to improve, but in fits and starts,” said Mark Zandi, chief economist of Moody’s Analytics. “Construction employment gains paused as the rebuilding surge in the wake of Superstorm Sandy ended. Anticipation of health care reform may also be weighing on employment at companies with close to 50 employees.””

“All eyes will be on the Labor Department’s monthly jobs report — which includes government employment — that will be released on Friday. The Briefing.com forecast is for the economy to have added 192,000 jobs in March and the unemployment rate to have remained steady at 7.7%.”

“Goods-producing employment rose by 7,000 jobs in March, its slowest pace of growth in six months. Construction added no net jobs over the month; this follows average monthly gains of 29,000 in the three months prior. Meanwhile, manufacturers added 6,000 jobs.”

Judge Arthur Schack wrote that if the case brought by Christopher Earl Struck claiming President Barack Obama was not truly born in Hawaii were a movie script it would be entitled ‘The Manchurian Candidate Meets The Da VInci Code.’

RMinNC,I just don’t get it.What part of illegal don’t they understand? I hear that the gov.is going to be giving illegals driver license.So wouldn’t that be tax fraud .So why are they calling them illegals? I don’t want to sound stupid,but this is just to much.

“A member of Congress who repeatedly has sponsored legislation to ban so-called “high-capacity” ammunition magazines is being asked to learn how they work before pursuing further action.

The request to U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette, a Democrat who has represented Denver since the 1990s, comes from Larimer County Sheriff Justin Smith.

He wants the congresswoman to “get the facts.”

The Denver Post said the request came at a forum the newspaper assembled to hear discussion on the issues of gun control.

And it followed her statement about how a ban on magazines holding more than 15 rounds would help reduce gun violence.

“I will tell you these are ammunition, they’re bullets, so the people who have those now they’re going to shoot them, so if you ban them in the future, the number of these high capacity magazines is going to decrease dramatically over time because the bullets will have been shot and there won’t be any more available,” she said.

The Post said DeGette “didn’t appear to understand” that a firearm magazine “can be reloaded with more bullets.”

The Communists believe that the months ahead provide a great opportunity to extract big immigration changes from the Party’s “friend” Barack Obama.
…
“The Communist Party’s interest in immigrants has nothing to do with compassion or humanity. The communists want amnesty for current illegals and to encourage further illegal immigration for several reasons.

Firstly, they want to dilute the existing patriot culture in the US by creating large immigrant communities, with little allegiance to the ideas that gave birth to the American republic.

Gordo……….Re 4:48 PM
When people having IQ levels at MORON level the outcome of about anything they have to say is MORONIC JIBBERISH. But then who even gives a damn about such mental derelicts. They themselves are their own worst enemy. But we can sit on our hands and do nothing after which the MENTAL DERELICTS,will be in control. NICE !

I seem to remember reading a magazine article in which the Chinese Communist party was the subject. At the end of the article were the words of CHAIRMAN MAO, where he had stated ” We have been on the road to nowhere for 70 years”……..implying that Communist China had not accomplished anything meaningful in 70 years………which tells it all about their Communist politics.

AND NOW……….the North Korean “Banty Rooster” continues to crow,and goose step back and forth shaking his fists,and spouting invectives. I tend to think that the head rooster has to know that if he does anything so stupid by launching a nuclear strike against the US, that the us can and probably will return the favor in kind. If he thinks he is playing a video game,then he had better GET REAL…….DAMN FAST,because at this point he LOOKS,AND BEHAVES LIKE A complete PSYCHOPATH,and as such he is exceedingly dangerous. The Nazi Supermen were some of the worlds best GOOSE STEPPERS, but look where most of the Nazi leaders ended up. Look where Benito Mussolini ended up. Does it tell you anything?

Fidel Castro took over Cuba, 57 years ago, and to look at Havana today you would swear you are looking backward in time. Damn little has changed in Havana,or for that matter has been built,since the takeover by FIDEL. In reality all he actually accomplished was to drive all of the people with half a brain out of Cuba,by the thousands,and via any floating means at hand.

The now deceased leader of Iraq made a statement just before Norman Scwartzkopf engaged his so called “ELITE GUARD” wherein he stated the the Americans were going to find themselves fighting the MOTHER of all battles. After Stormin Normin introduced himself, mostly via AIR MAIL the mother of all battles turned into the MOTHER OF ALL RETREATS,and surrender. When you take 70,000 of prisoners of war in less than two days it would seem that something pretty basic is wrong with the enemy. Could it have been that they discovered something called US TACTICS? Something which Schwartzkopf was a master at!

During a Playbook Breakfast event with Politico’s Mike Allen,
White House Senior Advisor Dan Pfeiffer lamented the effect
of the Drudge Report on the news cycle.

“This is less true now than it was, but there is a pavlovian
response from some media outlets,” Pfeiffer explained,
noting that reporters often ask questions about a topic
just because it’s on the Drudge Report.

Pfeiffer added that when he is asked about something on
the Drudge Report he usually ridicules the reporter asking
the question until they sheepishly back down…….

Dan Pfeiffer unwittingly revealed the Obama strategy that comes directly from Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals……“Pfeiffer added that when he is asked about something on the Drudge Report he usually ridicules the reporter asking the question until they sheepishly back down.”

Alinsky tactics have worked superbly to keep in check anybody who questions the validity of Obama’s birth certificate and Selective Service registration. The rationale is to ridicule them so no one will take them seriously. Even the former Congressman, courageous Lt. Col. Allen West, refuses to stand up to the Left’s contrived ridicule for anyone who questions Obama’s documents and school records. Criminal investigator, Mike Zullo had a conversation with West recently at CPAC…….

“Lt. Zullo told him (Allen West) of the 100% solid evidence he had of a forged and fabricated document and the legal ramifications and possible national security
issues of the matter. The bottom line of that conversation was that West told Lt. Zullo (after hearing and acknowledging the evidence of the case) that he couldn’t get involved in it because he might have future political aspirations – he couldn’t afford to be associated with the case. Lt. Zullo assured him this was NOT a birther issue – this was a proven criminal forgery and fabrication of identifying document issue. He assured Col. West that he would be backed up by a full and professional criminal investigation. Lt. Zullo asked Col. West if he could at least help us to open other doors with other VIPS. Col. West reaffirmed that he had no interest in helping us.”

I’ve been working a little on an excel worksheet. In 2012, the interest on the National Debt was $359,796,008,919.49. That’s bad. The effective interest rate we paid was about 2.23%. Imagine if the Fed slows or stops propping up the debt by buying treasuries (which keeps interest rate low) and the interest rate goes up.

Using the 2012 Debt numbers, if the interest rate went up to 3% we would have paid $484,784,610,399.01 billion dollars in interest. That’s an extra 125 billion in interest over the actual 2.23% interest we paid. And Obama is crying about 80 billion in sequester adjustments.

Using the 2012 Debt numbers, if the interest rate went up to 4% we would have paid $646,379,480,532.01 billion dollars in interest. That’s 287 billion more than the actual interest we paid.

Using the 2012 Debt numbers, if the interest rate went up to 5% we would have paid $807,974,350,665.02 billion dollars in interest. That’s 448 billion more than the actual interest we paid.

Now imagine if the interested rate increased to 8, 9, or 10% and the debt is increasing at the rate it is. Oh crap!
